In an embodiment, an apparatus includes a body comprising an inner body wall and an outer body wall centered about a longitudinal axis. The inner body wall and the outer body wall form a ridge at a first end of the body, and the ridge is configured to receive a force applied to the apparatus. The apparatus includes a base at a second end of the body. The base includes a flange configured to form a seal against a container wall and an aperture centered about the longitudinal axis. The base is centered about the longitudinal axis. The apparatus includes an inlet protruding from the base in a direction towards the first end of the body, and the inlet is configured to secure the apparatus to a nozzle of a cartridge. The apparatus is configured to force a material into the cartridge in response to the force applied to the apparatus.

System, apparatus, and method of efficiently transferring material from a container to a cartridge

A contoured surface planing apparatus for removing proud-standing material from a contoured surface without damaging the surface. The apparatus may include a tool comprising a motor-driven rotary cutter supported by a main body for rotation about a cutter axis, and orientation contact points spaced around the cutter and defining an orientation contact plane disposed parallel to the cutter axis.
